Details
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
Entered near the submarine cable, headed east along the sand and returned to the entry point.
Had an issue with the housing and it took me nearly 15 minutes to turn the camera on. Not sure if it is something with the new housing or just that the camera was not lined up correctly in the housing.
